The Discovery downer

[Darrin Drader]

15, but before you tell me that misses, I add an action point and roll a 6. Add that to my attack bonus of +12 and that's 33.

Okay, you run him over. Hes dead. He was just a level one tough.

Yeah, it might suck if yuou live near it, but if you're far enough away from the massive explosion and junk, and don't die of ash inhalation or whatever, chances are you'll make it. it takes maybe 15 to 20 minutes to set up those portable greenhouses we used in the military, and there are only about a gazillion of them around the us, not to mention fallout shelters under the cornfields etc, where most civvies don't even know they exist lol

anyway, food shortage would probably only last say, till wal-mart gets thier next truck in.

Mmm... reading the topic title I thought it was more of a complaint towards the airing of boaring real-life soaps and reruns of old shows.

Personally I would do a happy dance if Discovery would air something new and interesting in the Netherlands again. Besides Mythbusters and the occasional interesting documentary (which most of the times are reruns I just didn't see yet) Discovery these days has become rather dull.

Whoever thought that putting a bunch of motorcycle building rednecks in a real-life soap would be interesting to watch was extremely mistaken. /end rant

HEY! Say what you will about the level of drama, but Paul Sr. has got a moustache to be admired!

If I could grow a moustache like that...well then I guess I would.

And the History Channel got stupid one night when they were doing something on the Romans and the "armor" they were wearing was made out of CHAINMAIL(!) WTF was with that! I'm not that big a history buff but I *can* tell they really screwed up royally on that one. The armor was made of the similar style but the body, instead of being leather "splints" was chain links like from the medieval period.

Not sure what you're trying to say, but it sounds like you're claiming that the Romans didn't use chain mail, which couldn't be more dead wrong. The lorica hamata was the chain "shirt" that the Romans used, typically for their secondary troops, and it has a very long and ancient history, dating to before the Romans -- the Etruscans used something similar and the pre- and early historic Celts were masters of the art of putting chainmail together.

Unless you're being pedantic and saying you don't like the term chainmail, because it should just be maille or something like that. But I don't think that's what you're doing...

Man, those are some bummer stories. I'm smack in between Yellowstone and the Pacific Northwest coastline. Bummer.

I must say, I'll take Doomsaying Discovery over Coming-Out-Out-Of-The-Closet TLC anyday.

and as far as I remember, that lorica hakuna matata junk was like a skirt, so it could easily be lifted so you could go pee as well as various other activities whilst on the field of battle.
